A new sociological approach employs computer simulation and artificial intelligence in the development of theories and in empirical research. Much of the early work was carried out in the areas of social exchange and social networks. The initial methodology – variously called artificial social intelligence , agent‐based modeling , or multi‐agent systems – employs theory‐based computer models of human interaction. Computer and information scientists have recently developed similar techniques for analyzing empirical data, with names like machine learning , recommender systems , and latent semantic analysis . There is good reason to believe that computational sociology will spread beyond the specialized subfields that first adopted it and become a major approach in all areas of social research
